Treliving was originally hired as GM in April 2014, taking over the reins from the departed Jay Feaster (and Brian Burke, who served as an interim bridge between the two regimes). During his tenure, Treliving bolstered the team’s drafting and development team and seemed to consistently find value in his dealings with restricted free agents. He occasionally struggled with adding via unrestricted free agency, and his trade record was similarly mixed.

In nine seasons with Treliving as GM, the Flames made the playoffs five times (2015, 2017, 2019, 2020 and 2022) and advanced past the first round twice (2015, 2022).

More to come.
